One of the funniest incidents of any
railroad wreck that ever saw-and there
are always funny things that one remem-
bers about n railroad disaster-was that of
a man who was on my train when it ran
through a misplaced switch at Riverside
and collided with a freight train standing
on the side track. 1t was q terrible
smash up. Amos McDaniels. the engi-
neer, saved his life by jumping from his
engine before it struck the freight train,
but Andy McGlenn, the fireman, was
caught between the tank and the boiler
head of the engine, where he was held
fast, alive, but with his legs both crushed
and cooked. As soon as the passengers
found that not one of them was hurt they
swarmed out and began helping to get
poor Andy out of his terrible prison. !
noticed one passenger who worked like a
hero, lifting and pulling and straining TO
get Andy out, yet all the time using one
hand as if it were crippled. l noticed it
several times, and paid good deal more
heed TO 1t than you would expect n man to
under such circumstances; but, don't you
know, under the most exciting conditions
a mans mind will hit upon some such lit
tie thing and never let go of it2 Well,
noticed that man never opened his hand
TO take hold of whatever he was going to
lift, but put his wrist under it and kept
his thumb and fingers together
After we had got Andy out and they
had carried him to the depot stood talk
ing with this passenger, who was as white
as sheet and so much excited that he
could hardly put words together
''Is your hand crippledf'' asked
''No," said he, quite astonished, and
holding it up where l could see it, he be-
trayed the fact that all this time he had
been clinging with his thumb and first fin
ger to n pin with which he was just fast
ening his necktie down when the collision
occurred. And one Of the funniest parts
of the whole performance was the fact
that as soon as he held up his hand and
saw the pin he went right on pinning the
necktie down as if nothing had happened

The arrest of a suspicious character up
on his general appearance, movements or
companionship, without waiting until he
has robbed traveller, fired a house, o.
murdered fellow man, is an important
function of a shrewd detective. Even
more important is the arrest of disease
which, if not checked, will blight and
destroy a human life. The frequent
cough. loss of appetite, general languor
or debility, pallid skin, and bodily aches
and pains, announce the approach of
pulmonary consumption, which is prompt

The faint of Bourbon without the ism J

The Democrat must remember that the
''broad IDEAS" which it now commends,
when they were advanced were called by
Democrats "negrophobia, +" fnigger-wor-

terms. But how the rubbish of the

other"
The agent, however, begged the privi.
lege of leaving one of his machines with
us, "for the ladies to try
The request was not unreasonable, sc
we granted it-but more to oblge the
agent than anything else; for we really
did not want the machine, and had not
the remotest idea OF buying it.
The machine once ia the house, 1t was
natural that the ladies' should look ii
over; they did so, and as a consequence
fell in love with 1t. They say that with.
out the slightest wish to decry or dispar-
age any other machine, this, all things
considered, is, in their opinion, the most
desirable one to be had.
This unrivalled machine is manufac-
tured by the New Home Sewing Machine
